Lyrics: On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: A bell high up in a pear tree. On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Two one-ton bassoons, And a bell high up in a pear tree. On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Three french horns, Two one-ton bassoons, And a bell high up in a pear tree. On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Forty flat cornets, Three french horns, Two one-ton bassoons, And a bell high up in a pear tree. On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Five golden strings, Forty flat cornets, Three french horns, Two one-ton bassoons, And a bell high up in a pear tree. On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Six drummers drumming, Five golden strings, Forty flat cornets, Three french horns, Two one-ton bassoons, And a bell high up in a pear tree. On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Seven trombones sliding, On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Eight flutes a'trilling, And on the ninth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Nine oboes cackling, Ten fiddlers fiddling, Eleven cellos plucking, On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: Twelve cymbals crashings, Eleven cellos plucking, Ten fiddlers fiddling, Nine oboes cackling, Eight piccolos a'trilling, Seven trombones sliding, Six drummers drumming, Five golden strings, Forty flat cornets, Three french horns, Two one-ton bassoons, And a bell high up in a pear tree. Notes: When I found this song, I knew immediately that I wanted to get this song online. And what better time than on Chirstmas Day? Towards the end, you will hear variations in the normal time signatures to allow an extra measure for featured instruments! John Williams conducts this closing number to the big holiday concert that came before it. (Added 12/25/07) Christmas Time is Here (A Charlie Brown Christmas) By: The Peanuts Gang & The Vince Guaraldi Trio Notes: Although one of the lesser known classics, this song quickly sets the tone for young Charlie Brown's lonely and misunderstood childhood. The simple melodic line retains both a sense of heartache and charm. With it's slow jazz and shifts into minor chords, this is definately a different kind of Christmas song...(Added 12/23/07) Oh Santa! (Silly Songs With Larry) By: Veggie Tales, Phil Vischer (Bob), & Mike Nawrocki (Larry) Notes: This silly song was featured in the middle of the Christmas special "The Toy that Saved Christmas." However, the audio was released on a completely different CD, "A Very Veggie Christmas." (Added 12/19/07) The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late) By: The Chipmunks & David Seville a.k.a. Ross Bagdasarian Notes: This is the song that took "The Chipmunks" to the top of the charts! Ross Bagdasarian was David Seville's real name.
